Confirmed from Latham Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

“Beautiful Park, little bummed I can't ride my bike through it, but I understand they want to keep it looking beautiful”

Great small park to enjoy and relax with mother nature. Lots of green. Lots of shade. Seems quite. Fenced in and secluded off from residential area.

★★★★★ — Eric , Jul 2017

Pretty park. There were a few peonies in bloom. We used to go there as young kids, and run through the stone paths between the tall flowers.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
